Review Quotes




Praise for Percival Everett


"Artful and literate, Everett explores the philosophical, the metaphysical, the physical and the psychological boundaries of human life."
-Terry D'Auray


". . . Everett achieves a primal sense of dislocation, forcing us to question how we determine the limits of the human . . . "
--Sven Birkets, New York Times


"The audacious, uncategorizable Everett. He mixes genre and tone with absolute abandon, never does the same song twice. Brilliant."
--Boston Globe


"An author who dances with language as effortlessly as Fred Astaire."
--Daniel Quinn, author of Ishmael
